Doritos parodies the iPad with Spice 2.0 [Video]
A solid effort from Doritos spoofing Apple’s iPad promotional video. It’s not nearly as good as CollegeHumor’s hilarious production from a few weeks back, but for a Chip company, it ain’t too shabby. And lo and behold, who is it that appears at the end of the video? Why it’s Evan from MTV’s Real World/Road Rules […]

Comments Off on Report: iPads pre-orders hit 50,000 in 2 hours
Reports are trickling in that iPad pre-orders are off to an insane start. Earlier this morning, one user deduced: We just bought two iPads, about 30 minutes apart. Our order IDs are 10,000 apart. Assuming those order IDs are sequential, and they appear to be, then Apple is selling 20,000 iPads per hour. Now to […]

This may be entirely new, or maybe we just haven’t noticed it, but Apple’s product page now has a listing for a wireless iPad keyboard for $69.

Thursday, March 11, 2010
It’s no secret that Steve Jobs and Apple don’t think too highly of Flash, with Jobs reportedly noting during an internal Apple meeting that the majority of crashes on Safari are due to Flash related bugs. Apple has refused to budge from its position of not supporting Flash on the iPhone, and with the Flash-less […]

Apple’s App Store is in many ways the lynch-pin that helps the iPhone maintain its status as the top smartphone on the market. While competitors continue to mimic the iPhone’s UI, one area where companies like Google, RIM, and Palm have struggled is in creating an app store comparable to the massively successful iTunes App […]

Huzzah! The iPad launch is just weeks away and developers are undoubtedly burning the midnight oil in order to get their iPad designed apps ready for the masses. The way things are set up now, developers have to use an iPad simulator in the iPhone SDK because, well, no one has an iPad yet. That […]

Comments Off on How the iPad will change the way we read
“In printed books, the two-page spread was our canvas. It’s easy to think similarly about the iPad. Let’s not.

Comments Off on First iPad ad debuts during the Oscars; Steve Jobs is in attendance
The first iPad ad debuted a short while ago during the Oscars. Check it out below. Thoughts on the commercial? We think it’s okay. The song choice is mediocre by Apple standards, and the quick cuts move a bit too quickly to really appreciate what the iPad can do. Still, a pleasant reminder that the […]
